ma'am yes, ma'am," Jacob replied as he strapped into a sharp posture.
Kuvira gave him a nod before with a wave of her hand, three large John Deere sized lawnmower looking machines appeared. The large difference was that instead of a mower on the bottom, there was a sheet of blue light that projected down picking up only man made materials and none of the sand.
Connected to what was clearly projected tractor arrays was a massive bin on the back to collect all of the garbage. Yet, when you looked closer to the bin, it also had labels of separated locations for needles, glass, paper and various other things. There was even a waste bin section for biological materials.
Leaving Jacob to deal with his men, Kuvira pressed forward with her geokinetic powers. Her leg slid forward as her body lowered into a horse stance. Then one stomp hardened the sand around her location, another stomp formed it into a sandstone slope. Everything would go badly if the sand shifters couldn't get back up the curb because the wheels got sand locked.
Then with bent knees, Kuvira boost jumped out across the beach to land exactly fifty yards out. She turned with a low sweeping kick that sent up waves of sand creating a line from her location towards both directions. One went all the way up to the dunes, the other went down towards the ocean.
A lean forward and a punch into the sand shut up a small sand wall, then her hand flicking to the left and right sent it along the line she made. Before the wall could fall due to gravity, Kuvira's hand shot out palm flat before curling into a claw. The earthen sand reacted to her directions as it hardened into a knee height wall made of sandstone.
Giving it a once over, Kuvira's decided to give a section a punch which not only crumpled a portion of the wall but also created space enough for a sand shifter to drive through. After a few more adjustments to the sand wall, Kuviera performed the action of marking fifty yards for another nine sections creating a total of ten which also stopped at the nearest local breakaway.
With the work area marked off, Kuvira used a sand wave across the top of the dunes to get back to the starter area. When she arrived, She couldn't help but witness the workers from the DWA moving like well-oiled machines. One of the machines was run in the front with a wide scan set with blue light shining underneath. A runner followed this up with red flags planted every time the person on the lead sand shifter pointed out a trouble zone.
This trouble zone was then given space by the other two sand shifters while they went about following behind the main lead shifter. With a hop and a slide, Kuvira sent herself to glide down next to the DWA works set to direct the public away from the working zone.
"Ma'am," One of the workers stated as he acknowledged her presence.
Returning his words with a light nod of the head, Kuvira flowed away with the sand underneath her toes moving as one. Already she could notice the difference through her tremor sense from her contact with the sand. It didn't take her long to find who she was looking for as Jacob was also one of the ones hammering in a red flag on a location pointed out by a sand shifter.
"Jacob?" Kuvira questioned as she looked down upon the red flag that was planted between them.
"Ma'am?" He questioned with a little fright as he was surprised by her sudden appearance.
Dismissing his reaction, Kuvira waved a hand at the flag, "What is this?" She questioned as she motioned towards the flag.
Ohh, we found a dense pocket roughly ten feet down, the scanners can't give us a clear picture, so we marked it off for examination later," Jacob replied swiftly.
Kuviera gave him a raised brow before nodding her head in assent and confirmation, "Give me space, and I shall bring it up."
"It's fifteen feet down," Jacob replied before taking a few steps back.
Accepting that, she slid into a stance, both arms down at her side as Kuviera felt out the earth below her. Kuviera could feel the odd shape, so with a hard gesture down, the sand was hardened, then a sharp gesture upwards. The ground rumbled around her as the sand flowed out of the way as if it was made from water.
More and more sand came upwards and poured over the area even as it was then sunk back into the ground to fill the cavity as the obstruction was brought to the surface. Kuvira could sense and feel the metal before the cardboard exterior of the box breached the surface.
